Leased Lines
Internet connectivity built for businesses that can't afford downtime.
Reliable leased line internet connections designed to keep your business online
Most businesses experience internet slowdowns during busy periods. It’s frustrating, disruptive and costs your team valuable time.
Leased lines eliminate this problem entirely. Unlike standard broadband that shares bandwidth with other users in your area, a leased line provides a dedicated connection that runs directly between your premises and your service provider’s network. Your bandwidth is exclusively yours, maintaining consistent speeds regardless of what’s happening on the wider network.
We help businesses across the South West find and implement the right leased line solution for their operations. Using specialist connectivity software, we’ll match you with the best provider and package for your specific location and requirements.
Dedicated connections with guaranteed performance and contractual support
Here we’ve listed the key features our clients love and the benefits leased line connections have brought to their businesses.
-
Guaranteed Bandwidth
Your connection speed is guaranteed and unaffected by other users. While shared broadband can slow down during busy periods, leased lines maintain consistent performance throughout the day. Your team can work efficiently without internet-related delays holding them back.
-
Symmetrical Upload and Download Speeds
Leased lines provide equal upload and download speeds, unlike standard broadband where upload speeds are typically much slower. This makes cloud-based applications, video conferencing and large file transfers much more efficient for your business operations.
-
Service Level Agreements
We provide a 4-hour Service Level Agreement as standard with every leased line installation. Unlike standard broadband that offers no guarantees, you get contractual commitments for resolution times with compensation if issues aren’t resolved within the agreed timeframe.
-
Enhanced Security
Dedicated connections offer better security than shared internet services. Your data travels through a private circuit rather than shared infrastructure, reducing exposure to potential security risks and providing additional protection for sensitive business information.
-
Superior Reliability
Leased lines typically offer 99.9% uptime guarantees, significantly higher than standard broadband connections. This reliability is essential for businesses using cloud-based software, VoIP telephone systems or requiring constant internet access for operations.
-
Built-in Scalability
Leased lines are designed to grow with your business. Your internet connection can easily scale to meet increasing demands without replacing the underlying infrastructure, making expansion straightforward as your business develops.
Does your business need a leased line?
Not every business needs a leased line. If your current broadband connection meets your needs and you’re not experiencing regular slowdowns, you probably don’t need one. But if you have more than 10 people in your business, use cloud-based applications regularly and can’t afford internet-related disruptions, a leased line is worth considering.
We assess what’s available at your premises and compare the providers serving your area. We’ll advise whether a leased line makes sense for your situation. If it does, we manage the installation and handle all communication with the provider on your behalf. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you that too.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Leased line costs vary significantly based on your location, required bandwidth and distance from the provider’s network. Businesses typically pay between £300-£1,500 per month depending on these factors. Rural locations or higher bandwidth requirements generally cost more than urban sites with standard speeds. We provide specific pricing once we’ve assessed what’s available at your premises.
-
Installation typically takes 60-90 days from order to activation. This timeframe includes site surveys, wayleave permissions (if required), physical infrastructure installation and testing. The process involves coordination between providers, Openreach engineers and sometimes local authorities. We manage this entire timeline and keep you informed throughout.
-
Fibre broadband runs to your building but connects through shared public exchanges where bandwidth is split between multiple users. Leased lines provide dedicated connections that aren’t shared with anyone else. This means consistent speeds regardless of network congestion, symmetrical upload and download speeds and contractual SLAs with guaranteed fix times. Fibre broadband offers none of these guarantees.
-
Speed isn’t the only consideration. If your business depends on consistent internet access for cloud applications, VoIP phone systems, multi-site connectivity or customer-facing services, the reliability and guaranteed performance of a leased line often justifies the additional cost. Businesses with 20+ employees or those experiencing regular broadband issues typically see strong returns on investment from leased line upgrades.
